We're so deeply sorry to hear of the passing of your father. We hope that knowing he is in a better place now will help comfort you during this very difficult time. Our most sincere condolences go out to you and your whole family.

I attended Central Jr. High School, as well as William Allen High School with Jay, graduating in the class of '64. Jay will be remembered by all of us who grew up with him. May God bless you and your family.
